Thank you for all your comments. I really appreciate any help given. I have recently finished a degree and as a birthday/finishing pressie hubby kitted me out with some fantastic photographic equipment. I just have to learn how to use it all. Although I've been a keen photographer most of my life it is only in the last month or so that I have begun to take it particularly seriously. This is my first challenge and I am looking forward to becoming an active participant on DPC.
2 - Different - but concept not holding my attention, plus focus on the cd a little better may have helped give this something extra. The oof effect is quite nice, however for this Challenge, the frame/foreground subject needs to be more dominant & defined overall, in my opinion. Ultimately, I see a shot of a key viewed through the hole of a cd, without any strong and unusual elements required to make this 'special'.
rather than adding to the composition, I think this serves more to distract and confuse. I took too long to recognize the piano key. but hey, it kept me looking I guess.
